I'll tell you one more puzzling story
My wife's and my cases were transferred to Baltimore for interview.
At the interview, the officer told us that the process is finished, but my name check is pending. My wife's check has been cleared, but she can't get the approval until I (primary applicant) am approved.
We waited long months and continue to check at Baltimore.
The answer was always the same (see above).
In the beginning of June, my wife received the approval notice and we immediately went to Baltimore to stamp her pass and to ask about my status. Guess what ? They told this time that her case is approved and mine is still pending the name check...
My reference to their previous (numerous !) statements that my wife could not get the approval without me has no effect. The answer was: "we often do that as to approve kids before their parents..."
I am thus completely confused: do they simply forget to put the check "cleared" in my file, or the FBI lost my file.
For sure, somebody lost something... May be his mind.
